Got the omakase, was expensive but hienstly cheaper than surrounding omakase offerings. It was very delicious, but could have used more bulk, as I left feeling a little peckish.

Authentic little sushi spot offering fantastic mid range Omakase and specialties. We come for birthdays every year.

Amazing high quality sushi in Palo Alto, way better than most chains and many big name sushi restaurants in the Bay Area.

We went to Daigo for a 3 generation family dinner. We were all delighted! We were sitting on the terrasse, the food was delicious, the fish very fresh. Quick and friendly service. I recommend!

Fantastic! Sat at the sushi counter for omakase service. Chef explain each bite/dish and service was excellent. Great casual neighborhood vibes, comfortable seating. Most importantly, excellent quality fish that shined w/ traditional and understated preparations. I'll be back when in town for work.

Hamachi shots were insane. The tofu was some of the best I’ve ever had, super soft and fried just a bit for the perfect thin, crispy texture. The sauce for the tofu was also so yum!!! Crab was pretty good, though both the crab and tofu got soggy quickly due to the sauce. The o toro nigiri was honestly the best thing from this dinner. SO. TENDER. Salmon toro and Ebodai (butter fish) were also tender, but the o toro was unmatched. Honestly could’ve passed on the yellowtail maki, it was very rice-y but still good. Yuzu cheesecake was a great way to end this magical meal. We are moved.

- Made a reservation by phone a few weeks in advance. They confirmed the reservation the night before by phone call - Reserved an outside seat but when we got there we were informed the seat may be hot on a summer evening and we were given the option to sit inside. We chose to sit inside and were glad we did! Enjoyed the atmosphere. There are a few seats at the bar and then ~6 small tables inside -We got the omakase- we were impressed with the variety of fish, the unique flavor, and how quickly the food came out. There was very little wait between the courses -Had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the food

Absolutely wonderful from the service all the way down to the atmosphere. Delicious sushi can't recommend it enough. The tuna tempura roll was amazing.
Don’t come here so I can continue getting last minute reservations when all other inferior feeding joints r full. The omakase is the best in the area. Keep the sake flowing as your senses delight in mouthful after mouthful of increasingly tasty fishy bites. 好吃😋

A Cozy Spot with Seriously Good Food Went to Daigo with my cousin last week and had such a great time. The vibe is super cozy—perfect for catching up or just enjoying a chill night out. I went for the omakase, and honestly, it was totally worth it. The price felt fair, and the quality of the food was top-notch. They’ve got a nice sake selection too. I tried the one the staff recommended and it was delicious—smooth and easy to drink. Don’t leave without trying their house-made desserts! The ice cream, in particular, is amazing—really interesting flavors, not too sweet, and just the right way to wrap up the meal. Can’t wait to go back!

Small local place. Appetizers are very interesting and tasty. Maybe it was a bad night but the rice was very subpar. For a sushi place!!!

We had dinner here a week ago and had a lovely time. We arrived right when they were opening and managed to get a table. They have a few tables outside, the same amount inside, and a sushi counter bar. The staff were all very friendly and helpful during our meal. Both of us ordered the omakase and the fishes were all great. And for the price of $110/person it was perfect for a date night! They also include a sake pairing with the omakase for an additional charge. We went for a bottle of sale with our meal. I highly advise you to get a reservation because this place is very popular.

We went for a late dinner and sat in the back. We couldn’t get the omakase since it was an hour before they closed but even with the a la carte, it was a great experience. Everything we ordered was delicious and the service was impeccable. The staff gave us several cups of sake tasting and even a black sesame cheesecake on the house. My favorite was the wagyu nigiri, hamachi shot, and the egg custard. Would love to come back to get the full omakase experience next time I’m in Palo Alto!
